MerijnBecause it's Friday, I hit 1:00 in only 6 tries. It told me I was the best at Casio. :)
Play the one-second stopwatch game...it took me 62 tries to hit 1:00 exactly. We used to play this in school with an actual digital watch. We also had a version where we'd see how fast we could start and stop the timer. Good wholesome times...we weren't rotting our brains with Candy Crush or Angry Birds Star Wars or social studies. (thx, nick)

Fourth-grader Zachary Maxwell is making a short documentary film about the lunch program at his New York City public school. It's called Yuck.
In the fall of 2011, fourth grader Zachary Maxwell began asking his parents if he could start packing and bringing his own lunch to school. Unfortunately, they kept insisting that he take advantage of the hot lunch being served at the school. After all, the online menu sounded delicious and the NYC Department of Education (DOE) website assured parents that the meals were nutritious. Zachary wanted to convince his parents that the online menu did not accurately represent what was really being served at his school.
Here's a short clip in which Zachary compares the special salads concocted by celebrity chefs Rachael Ray and Ellie Krieger for use in NYC public schools to the sad reality.
This is awesome. I mean, the lunches aren't awesome, but Zachary is.

Een toerist in Amsterdam is vannacht van het dak van zijn appartement gesprongen en overleden, nadat hij hallucinerende drugs had gebruikt. Dat meldt de politie.
Het ongeluk gebeurde middenin de nacht aan de Marnixstraat in Amsterdam. De buitenlandse jongen overleed ter plekke. Hij was samen met een vriend op vakantie in Nederland. Die verklaarde na het ongeluk dat de twee samen hallucinerende 'magic truffels' hadden gegeten. De politie wil niet zeggen wat de identiteit van het slachtoffer is.
De verkoop van hallucinerende paddenstoelen is sinds 2008 verboden in Amsterdam. Toch gebeuren er nog wel af en toe ongelukken met mensen die ze in het illegale circuit hebben gekocht. De afgelopen twee jaar raakten zeker twee toeristen gewond, nadat ze onder invloed van drugs van een dak af waren sprongen.
MerijnNo. This is not funny. This is not a clever parody of John McAfee, IT IS JOHN MCAFEE. It is not acceptable for the founder of McAfee to curse up a storm in a public video associated with McAfee. It is not funny to throw strippers at everything in this video. It is not funny to watch John Mcafee forget his pants. I didn't need to see his wrinkly, horribly-tattooed old body nearly naked. It is not funny to pretend your assistant doesn't know how to uninstall McAfee, because you're not pretending it's a bad product, IT ACTUALLY IS A BAD PRODUCT. This video is the most unfunny shit I've seen this year, and I feel depressed knowing it exists and frustrated it spoiled my entire day because I watched it.
PS. fuck your silly straw. stick it, and your shitty AV product, up your ass and fuck off.
